Southern Africa. He is known only as Hun

as Allan Quatermain himself. About q year
ago Wilhelm came across a tribe of natives
near the Zambezi River in South Africa, and
although never visited by white man before,
they treated him kindly. From them he
learned that 100 miles further into the interior

had stolen from the tribe. The hunter re

lemale, out the 1em2le, named one. cleo De-

be at loss what to liken them to. Their
heads are we'll formed and developed as a
| two yearold child's, and the forehead is not
at all recseding but straight and intelligent
looking. The eyes are brown. large and
bright, and follow a strangers movements
with the inquiripg look of bright baby. The
nose, however, is like az African negroes,
only much flatter and the mouth resembles
Mr.. Crowley's closely. The body is
we'll formed and the paunch extremely like
those of the children in Southern countries,

human In shape and so are the feet, except
the toes, which are longer than child's and
more movable. Long red hair of sparse
growth is on the back and limbs, but the
front of the body, which is of a tan color, is
perfectly free from it.
Although something like monkey or an
ape in appearance, the animals have no tails,
and there is no suspicion that there might
have been one originally, which might have
been amputated. He and 1t are extremely
affectionate and took quickly to Mrs. Sparrow,
the colored nurse who has been employed to
tt nd them An effort will be made to teach
them to talk. and Mr.. Reiche expects that
they will shortly call Mrs. Sparrow mamma.

1t il about time that people should re-
gard with suspicion these perfect models
of mankind-men who have no faults and
are forever pointed at, as bright and shin
ing examples of all that is good. With
the eternal fact that there is no one per-
feet preached from every pulpit, 1T seems
strange that people will persist in deceiv-
ing themselves with the idea that there
do exist one or two exceptions to the
rule. Men who have no redeeming vices
are the very ones who should be watche d
most carefully. The extremes in
moral condition are dangerous affairs.
Religious enthusiasts are not to be reck-
oned among exceptions. Gould and Nc
Nicely have proved the fact. Better trust
money to men who are not so awfully
pious for awhile, and see il the golden
mean is not better than the dangerous
extreme,

The Marvellous Phonopore.

There seems to be no end to the
marvels of electrical science We have
long known that, inexplicable as it
seemed, messages could be sent through
a wire in opposite directions at the
same moment. But now we have Mr..
Langdon Davis utilizing for telegraphic
purposes form of electric force which
can be separated altogether from the
ordinary electric current, and which
can pass freely through .insulators i'm
passable by currents. The new instru-
ment, termed phonopore, can be at
tached to any ordinary telegraph line,
as was done day or two back in the
case of line from London Bridge to
Folkestone. The result was that it was
possible to send a phonoporic message
over the heads, as it were, of the usual
operators, who could continue all the
time to work the line from either end,
or at any intermediate point, and in
both directions. Moreover, when the
line at either end was disconnected, SO
that there was no closed circuit, and
telegraphic messages were therefore
entirely impossible, the phonopore
worked as successfully as ever.-St.
James Gazette.

A Writer for One Tells How the Average

1t is not often that a woman buys a
comic paper to read on an elevated car,
but when she does it is curious to OBJ
serve her. She looks as solemn as
though she were reading the obituary
of near and dear friend. She glances
at the cartoon on the first page to COM
mence with, and after feeble attempt
to comprehend it she turns to the last
page and reads very carefully an ad-
vertisement of some new style of COR
set. Then she opens anywhere, and
looks at comic picture without read
ing the accompanying description, and
reads the inscription of another illus
tration without looking at the picture.
She pursues mild squib on women,
and her lips curl with gentle scorn,
while her lips move as though she were
saying: "He thinks he's smart, doesn't
hep She forgets her momentary re-
sentiment, however, in going over a

Adulterated Spices.

ri know man." remarked gentle
man this morning, 'who is so consci-
entious that, after starting in the spice
business at considerable expense, he
sold out at a loss rather than continue
a manufacturing concern that could
only be made profitable by adulterating
the manufactures and selling impure
goods. There is more adulteration in
spices, he told me, than in any thing
else, and the making of the adulterating
agents is also business in itself Why,
it has not been long since there was a
mill over in Camden where fruit
importing firms here, and those that
manufactured prepared cocoanut, sent
their cocoanut shells, which were then
ground into powder and used for adul-
teration. / believe the method is to
find out what you can get for your
spices and then adulterate them so you
can make a profit at the figures named.
The strength and pungency of the spice
are usually made to correspond with
its price. "-P PHILADELPHIA Bulletin.
